High praise for ‘Journey’ from Youthscape Podcast presenters

Diocesan Youth Officer Christina Baillie is interviewed by Martin Saunders from Youthscape for their podcast which is broadcast for the first time today!

And Christina and Connor Youth Forum come in for high praise for their innovative resource ‘Journey,’ which was launched in Lisburn Cathedral last November.

The podcast came about after Christina posted Youthscape a copy of resource, and if you listen in, you will hear that the project literally blew the presenters away!

The podcast is hosted by Martin and Rachel Gardner who speak at length to Christina about ‘Journey.’ Before the end of the show, the presenters also have a very positive conversation about the resource.

Their comments included:

“This is way beyond my expectations…it’s really, really good. I didn’t expect something that had young people at the heart of it to be such professional quality.” Martin

“It’s a good pushback to all of us. Yet again we are coming back to not setting our young people up to fail.” Rachel

“If you really are going to empower a young person to do something you really have to give them support, and that’s what Christina and her team have done. They have put a lot of energy and a lot of effort into these young people.”
